1) a specific product UI. Google's current one is just the first
public draft that is broken in many ways.

2) a protocol, an approach and a method. In that sense, incredibly
powerful and forward-looking. Maybe too much so, but maybe it will
become something useful. I have myself many useful waves already
ongoing.

I agree, a lot of things don't really work well. I see the potential, but I
think Scoble is right, when he says google should move away from the email
metaphor. The interface doesn't support organization of the waves very well.
I wrote a piece on the problems I see, but it's in German.

- Content and communication about the content are not well
differentiated.
- It's hard to really understand what's happening in a wave, because
conversation is often going on all over the place.
- It wants to give you a universal inbox, but gives no help to organize
it.

Nooo...?
I don't code AIR apps. I don't code anything.
I do user research.
